Cdrtools package, support for nls/utf8 character sets

Question

Hello ppl,
I've been trying desperetly to burn a cd/dvd(k3b) with greek filenames and directory names. I ended up with file names like "???????????????????? (invalid unicode)"
After a lot of searching, i managed to isolate and solve the problem. There has been a patch(http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=52097) for cdrtools to support nls/utf8 character sets.
I guess that 90%+ of people using arch and burning cd's/dvd's, ignore the problem cause they just burn cd's/dvd's using standard english characters.
For all others here it is     :

patch -p1 -i ../attachment.cgi?id=52097

make || return 1
make INS_BASE=$startdir/pkg/usr install
It's a modified pkgbuild of the official arch cdrtools package (http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcv … cvs-markup) patched to support nls/utf8 character sets.
Worked like a charm. 
If u want to install it, u should uninstall the cdrtools package
pacman -Rd cdrtools
P.S.: I've issued this as a bug in http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/3830 but nobody seemed to care...    :cry:  :cry:  :cry:

Hi Bharat,
I have created a Oracle 8.1.7 database with UTF8 character set
on WINDOWS 2000.
Now , I want to store and retrieve information in other languages
say Japanese or Hindi .
I had set the NLS Language and NLS Terrritory to HINDI and INDIA
in the SQL*PLUS session but could not see the information.You cannot view Hindi using SQL*Plus. You need iSQL*Plus.
(Available as a download from OTN, and requiring the Oracle HTTP
server).
Then you need the fonts (either Mangal from Microsoft or
Code2000).
Have your NLS_LANG settings in your registry to
AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8. (I have not tried with HINDI etc, because
I need my solution to work with 806,817 and 901, and HINDI was
not available with 806).
Install the language pack for Devanagari/Indic languages
(c_iscii.dll) on Windows NT/2000/XP.
How can I use the Forms 6i to support this languages ?I am not sure about that.
Do write back if this does not solve your problem.
